Learning Communities
Through learning communities, you have a great opportunity to connect with other students who share your interests and get to know faculty.
Students who participate in a learning community earn higher grades and have increased exposure to university resources and the Lafayette community.
Over 3,000 first-year students and 1,000 current students who participate in learning communities every year! Don't be left out!
A housing contract with University Residences must be completed prior to applying for a learning community at Purdue West Lafayette. After accepting your offer of admission, allow up to two business days to gain access to the housing contract portal. After you complete the housing contract, and it is processed, you will gain access to submit your learning community application. Purdue in Indianapolis students please review the Purdue in Indianapolis pages for your information.
